Special Correspondence Of the ISrsl.0csAN.l
WAsHINoToN, Jan. l9.-,rhe Dakot;
news from this point for the past week
can be summed up In very few words
Frost, Mcclure and CaulAeId have bee,
busy in their several interests. but CauI
field Is the only one who has succeeded
His business IL to keep quiet and say ">
little ~ possible concerning himse.l
aud the business which brought hin
here and he has succeeded admirably.
Frost has been chasing the Deadwo,",
land Office and Thought he bad 1t by the
tail once, but he didn't put any salt on
it and 1t got away from him. Lamar is
expected back today from his wedding
tour. The Kiddy fellow went away and
married u young and handsome wido"
only So years OF age, and he knew when
he went away that Frost ought to have
been appointed. But he went away and
left the young Huron editor here anoth-
er month in the whlrl Of Washington 80
ciety.
Mcclure Is working for tho opening of
q reservation which will not 10 opened
by this house. There have been too
many influences brought to bear against
the Dawes bill. Some influence has
been powerful enough to keep Wellbor"
from calling 1t up for nine months since
tho continuing order WAS obtained.
As predicted in these columns many
moons ago, the congress has quietly gone
OH It's way, ignoring all Of the petitions
and requests which have como from Da-
kota for division. 1t Is useless to expect
anything Of the kind from the present
congress and almost useless to hope for
anything from tho next congress. II
looks very much as though Dakota must
he admitted as whole or else remain II
territory until she grows big enough tu
fight the rest Of the country. 1t would
be plainly absurd for Democratic house
in congress to 20 tO work and create live
in the presidential election which will
bs held next year. Republicans cannot
blame them for being politically pru.

desire division aud statehood or x4iiIlis.
